But to come back to our :itory.‘

potatoes had been sold for exporti and in 1921, 45,000. The ncxti year, despite the bumper crop of. potatoes all over America. the ex ports jumped to about 100,000 hush- els. The Green Mountains. how- ever, netted only 50 cents~ a bushel, but the demand for irish Cobhlers was so much greater t-ban the sup-i ply, that 75 cents a" bushel net was received on sales of this variety. The farmers of course profittad by their experience with the Irish Cob- blers and the next year the acreage of this variety was increased. The result was that in the fgl of 1922, the Association markete upwards of 250,000, two-thirds of which were Irish Cobblers-the supply of this variety still being much below the demand. On last fall's sales of this immense quantity of seed pot-

final settlement will be made of the

price.

This represents a very remark-

able growth-from 8.500 bushels in 1920 to 250,000 in 1923, the fourth season! The question is. Can the industry he maintained? The answer is that the outlook is ‘tary bl'iS|1t- B0 |0118 so the association is able to maintain the high standard which has been set by the Domin- ion Divlslon of Botany.
